as I also overcame, and sat down with my Father on his throne. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.”

After these things I looked and saw a door opened in heaven,

and the first voice that I heard, like a trumpet speaking with me, was one saying, “Come up here, and I will show you the things which must happen after this.” Immediately I was in the Spirit.

Behold, there was a throne set in heaven, and one sitting on the throne, that looked like a jasper stone and a sardius.

There was a rainbow around the throne, like an emerald ◆ to look at.

Around the throne were twenty-four thrones. On the thrones were twenty-four elders sitting, dressed in white garments, with crowns of gold on their heads.

Out of the throne proceed lightnings, sounds, and thunders.
